TikToker Roasts Chanel By Revealing What’s Inside Its ‘Glamorous’ $825 Advent Calendar

ADVERTISEMENT

Christmas time is surely a special time full of surprises, awaited events, and various traditions. For a lot of people, one of those little and special traditions is buying an Advent calendar that helps to mark the days until Christmas morning by giving a small treat. For many years, this Advent calendar was known to be the kind that contained small pieces of chocolate, but it seems that with time, various industries have decided to incorporate the calendar idea to sell and promote their products. In recent years, beauty advent calendars have become a thing. Soon almost every beauty brand could offer one. And this year, marking the 100-year anniversary of the famous Chanel N°5 fragrance, the luxury brand decided to create and sell an advent calendar for $825, making it one of the most expensive Advent calendars.

    Its extraordinary packaging already promises that the goods inside should be really special. Having this in mind, people online were given an opportunity to see what the huge Chanel box contained inside as TikTok user @eliseharmon decided to purchase the calendar and share what she found inside, soon making her videos about the calendar viral.

    TikTok user Elise also decided to treat herself and bought Chanel’s Advent calendar that costs $825

    The young woman started her TikTok video by showing an unpacked box that was Chanel’s Advent calendar. She admitted that she was drawn to it as she had never seen a Chanel calendar and wanted to find out if “it’s worth the hype.” The woman was happy with the packaging and kept on unpacking the calendar further to find out what luxury things she was about to find. One of the first things she took out of the packaging was stickers. This shocked the TikToker who was laughing at her first gift.

    Having in mind how luxurious this brand is, the woman was very keen to find out what kind of goodies were in the box

    She was quite disappointed to see that most of the items that were included in the box were cheap things that she would hardly use

    The woman whose name is Elise Harmon kept updating her followers on what were some of the other things in the calendar, as this situation brought the attention of many others online. Among the things that she received, many of them were truly disappointing: stickers, a paperweight, temporary tattoos, a cheap-looking snowball. Only a few products looked worthy: a red nail polish, a bottle of perfume, a bath soap, and a hand cream. Later the woman revealed that the cost of the products that were found in the box was around $200-250 when the cost of the calendar was $825.

    Despite most of the things being small items such as a dust bag and a flip book, there were a few products that were valuable, one of them being the famous Chanel perfume

    Some might think that before buying such an expensive product, the woman should’ve checked what the box contained. Elise explained that she purchased the calendar not online, but in the actual store, and there was no description of what was in the package. Besides, she revealed that she likes not to know what is inside as it should be a surprise. Another reason for not actually looking at what the calendar contains was that she trusted the brand, saying that she has always known it for its luxury and high quality.

    This story gained a lot of attention as a lot of people are familiar with or at least have heard about the brand. The woman also shared that she was blocked by Chanel on Tiktok, but the brand soon clarified the situation by telling her that they didn’t do this as they don’t upload any content on Chanel’s TikTok channel, and it is kept private without any followers.

    That calendar even looks cheap from the outside. But, seriously, which sane person would ever spend THAT much money on an advent calendar!

    You'd think a brand as classy as Chanel would put decent stuff in an advent calendar that costs over $800! "Cheapel"? Haw haw haw! At least include stuff that one can't get at the Chanel counter in a store.
